PETRANAKI TOURNAMENT Deuce
Today we are announcing the call to arms for the second bi-annual Petranaki Tournament.
The Petranaki Tournament is a special week-long event that escapes the nuance of factions and guilds for a more civilized, global bloodsport. Players will sign up using their account and join different teams. This time around, there are four: Krayt, Wampa, Rancor, and Rathtar. During the week, PvP is only possible through team-vs-team engagement for special rewards, as further described below.
During the Tournament, other GCW and PvP mechanisms, including Watchtowers, Base Busting, Special Forces PvP, Player Bounty Hunting, GCW Rank Decay, Dueling, and other TEF-mechanics will be disabled. The only PvP-based activity available will be through the Tournament.
If you sign up to participate, all characters on your account whose combat level is >= 54 will be drafted into the tournament and will be PvP flagged against the opposing teams at all times. The only exception is a two-minute timer after cloning, which will exempt both you and any enemies from attacking each other.
There is no Winner in the Petranaki Tournament; it is a celebration of bloodshed. It is a week in which glorious death will be awarded.
The following mechanics will be in place for ALL players during the duration of the tournament, regardless of event participation:
- All player deaths will be celebrated in a Discord channel.
- Each time any player dies (PvP or PvE), they will receive 1 Battlefield Token.
- A Jedi that becomes ghosted will receive the max daily tokens available.
- This reward is capped to 25 tokens every day for tournament participants, and 5 tokens for everyone else.
These rewards will be given for tournament participation:
- A badge will be awarded on each character that reaches 25 deaths.
- For Jedi, they may also receive the badge for being ghosted 3 times.
- Each time an opposing team player dies, all opposing team participants in the area will receive 1 Battlefield token (subject to the same cap above)
In addition, all event participants with characters that actively participate and die at least once will receive a bounty of Battlefield Tokens if the requisite number of deaths is reached across all players in the event, regardless of their team:
- 100 deaths: 100 tokens
- 500 deaths: 200 tokens
- 1000 deaths: 300 tokens
- 5000 deaths: 1000 tokens
Sign up using this form between now and November 15.
If you are interested in being a team captain, be sure to check the Captain Interest box when submitting the form on or before Sunday, November 10. Team captains will be selected at this time, in coordination with the staff.
On November 16, at 3 PM EST, an in-game draft event will take place at Nym's Palace. Team Captains will roll a dice, with the ascending order determining who will make their first pick in what order, and thereafter selections will be made using Snake Draft ordering. After all drafting has taken place, a pre-battle period will begin where teams will be automatically assigned, and players will gain access to an in-game and Discord channel for their team, to allow for initial coordination. Any players who sign up after the draft will be assigned randomly.
The Tournament will begin at approximately 12 PM EST on Sunday, November 17 and last for seven days until 11:59 PM EST on November 23.
During this period, all player deaths will be recorded in Discord and awarded tokens (tournament participation or not).
- Characters that are below CL54 will not be automatically flagged for PvP even if the player signed up for the event. However:
- If your alternate character below CL54 is spotted in the open by opposing team players, they may use Report a Jedi to indicate you as an enemy scout.
- If you receive enough reports, you will be flagged for PvP.
- The above only applies for players who consent to PvP in the event.
- Player bounty missions will not be able to be accepted or completed (NPC bounties will function as expected).
- There will be NO staff buffs or special summons in the tournament.
- If you sign up for the tournament and do not participate, you will not receive the overall token payout.
- Captains are welcome to create their own Discord servers; however, a channel will be made in the main Discord for your team.
- Watchtowers will be disabled and ranks will not decay during the event.
- Late sign-ups (post-draft), if accepted, will be assigned to a team by staff.
- Excessive kill trading will make you ineligible for rewards.
- Abusing the Report a Jedi function to flag noncombatants who are merely going about their business will make you ineligible for rewards and may result in action against the account.
